A Brief Explanation Of FRUIT
A fruit is the part of a plant that holds the seeds and aids in their dispersal. It develops from the ovary of a flower that has been pollinated and can be juicy and colorful or hard and dry. There are two broad categories: succulent and dry fruits. Of the succulent fruits, berries typically have a combined mesocarp and endocarp layer, and many seeds; drupes usually have a fleshy mesocarp and one seed surrounded by a woody endocarp. Aggregate fruits such as blackberries are made up of small drupes. False fruits develop from parts of the flower as well as the ovary, Dry fruits may be dehiscent (splitting open to scatter seeds) or indehiscent (falling without breaking apart).
